cracked windshield
hey guys, i have a 99 civic coupe that has a cracked windshield. I washed the car today and it spreaded, and i was wondering what would happen if the crack spreaded across the windshield to the other side. will i be safe knowing that the windshield won't collapse on me? a small pebble was a cause of it all... thanks guys
bump
Sorry but this was funny. Ok seriously you are not suppose to put cold water on a hot windsheild it will do that. It will progressivly make it to the otherside as the weather changes outside. Caving in on you while driving i don't think is likley (sp) to happen.
Good luck with it mane.

windshield. (hell I don't know)

lolol, temperature changes cause expansion and contraction of solids...think about the lines in concrete sidewalks or the expansion joints on bridges, they're there for a reason
I've poured cool water from the faucet on icy windows for years without any problems, as long as it's warmer than 32°F it will melt the ice...never once had it crack or spread a bullseye. THEN I've seen a windshield on a friends vehicle crack from a chick putting her foot up on the dash and her toe touching the glass...i didn't think she was all that hotmiddle of winter of course but still kinda freakish.
You can get a ticket for a cracked windshield and doesn't really matter the size of the crack.
$150-180 or so, you don't want to have one installed that cost much less than that. There's a few companies that will do it for $125-150 but they use the old recycled molds from other manufacturers making it a thinner and lower quality window.

lol.. just speeding up the process... it was in the early morning... not hot windshield yet
The windshields on today's cars have like a coating or wrap on the glass, but you need to get that handled cause I think that Police write tickets for that.

lol such an otherwise useless post used relevantly with elegance +1a video of how strong the windshield is
Just get a new one, they're really not that expensive.
Yes, you can get a ticket, I think it's a percentage of the width of the glass, or a certain universal length.
Best thing to do is get a new one, they usually cost about $150 installed at your door.
i hate to bring this back from the dead but that car in the vid is the most awesome thing i have ever spent money on. clean title loaded out running driving ex coupe and we drank beer and destroyed it!! fun stuff..cant wait to get get another
